Thats something to think about, i seems that everything but the most heavy duty mowers have some week spots. I had to buy a welder and learn to weld just to keep my cutter from falling apart.

You are looking at the green mower with me aren't you?

Rick is right about the hitch, we have only got rave reviews and a few that have hooked a tree or something and twisted it.

With the twin spindles it doesn't stick back further then a 42" bush-hog making it easy to ballast for.

Both shafts on the green SQ84T pictured are fully shielded. It's quite obvious to me.

I think the shielding looks so straight that it looks like a prop shaft. It's obvious to me that it's a plastic shielded shaft cover, like one of the ones from Comer industries.

You know... some days I feel like I've been livin' under a rock. I'd never seen that cutter before. I'll keep my old King Kutter for everyday use, but that would be my choice for cutting around my ponds. The amount of time I waste backing in my 5' cutter repeatedly over the edge of my ponds would make that cutter worth the money. It sticks out just far enough to do the job. Granted, it is prone to twisting, but I think that's true of anything with an offset mounting. Those dual trailing wheels also would sure keep the cutter from digging in on turns like my current cutter does sometimes. I like it! It's now on my long list of "like-to-haves."
